Obituary Notice

Julie Johanna Enzenberger Philpot, beloved wife, daughter, sister, and friend passed to everlasting life on Friday, June 1, 2018.

Julie was beautiful inside and out, strong and independent, with a loving spirit that continued to shine forth and increase throughout her life.

She had a dynamic personality and enjoyed spending time with family and friends, game nights, reading, sightseeing, travel adventures, waterparks, canoeing, and trying new recipes. She was full of surprises but nothing got by her. It wasn’t just the special occasion Julie but the day – to – day Julie that lived her life in every moment. Julie was a blessing to those who knew her well and will be dearly missed and always loved.

Praying for the Enzenburger and Philpot families, and especially Ben. Wrap yourself in the memories of Jule to be comforted. Her leaving so young seems unfair and not right. But her life was full of love and grace. She is a beautiful reminder of, “We don’t know how much time God will grant us on Earth.” We should not waste a moment. Continue to live consoled by knowing you were loved by her.

We met Julie & her Mom at Massachusett General Hospital in Boston during her treatment. We could immediately see a wonderfully kind, intelligent, caring young woman going thru such a difficult time. She celebrated with us during our “ringing of the bell” for finishing our cancer treatment at the hospital. So thoughtful, she gave us a card & a sweet decoration of Boston to remember. We knew her so briefly, and we are utterly saddened by her loss. Such a gorgeous young woman. Our sincerest condolences at this time. Jim & Dale (Boston)

— Dale Young

Julie was my roommate in College, and from the moment I met her, she brought such a positive energy and uplifting light with her. I was nervous and shy at first, but Julie was welcoming and had a warm heart. She made it a point to stick by me and just like that, we adventured off. With her by my side, I didn’t feel so alone or shy. She brought out the best in me.. Her laugh was contagious and her silly, quirky personality always made for fun shenanigans. I remember sitting up late in the dorm talking about life and what’s to come. It seems like forever ago, but for some reason it still feels I met her yesterday. I thought to myself, “how cool is it that she’s my roommate and how’d I get so lucky?” Of course we bickered sometimes (mostly because we’d borrow each other’s clothes and not give them back, typical of college girlfriends who are roomies), but we always said goodbye to each other before leaving for class. I’m still in shock and I’m deeply saddened by the news of her passing. Julie had a profoud impact on my time at Alma, and when I remember Alma, I’ll remember Julie and that smile. I’m sending Julie’s family and her husband Ben all the love and prayers this world can offers.. Julie was the most beautiful soul and you should know how much she is loved and will be missed.
